"You seem to be able to only argue against strawmen." But they are so much fun! Binary choices are very popular. The fact they don't really map to reality is only secondary... My wife is going for a PhD in Philosophy. We discuss her classes, especially the ones that aren't logic. The logic she handles pretty well, the other stuff, well... Such binary choices are extremely common in philosophy. i.e. either you swallow their approach whole, or you are classed with the morons. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground. This is an equivalent argument. Either you have an all powerful government that micro-manages everything, or you have a minimal government that does very little.
